Data from Cointelegraph’s price tracker and Coin360 shows a return to form across the top twenty crypto assets by market cap, ETH/USD gaining almost 17 percent in the past 24 hours and XRP/USD gaining 15 percent.

Prices across major exchanges circled $149 and $0.42 for ETH and XRP respectively.

While Ethereum’s rise was not immediately attributed to a specific factor, XRP had seemingly reacted within minutes to news that crypto exchange Binance was launching two trading pairs using the coin as a base currency.

Meanwhile, prior to ETHs price rise, Justin Sun, CEO of rival blockchain platform TRON (TRX), publicly voiced his lack of confidence in Ethereum, claiming it was “slowly imploding” along with ConsenSys, a project created by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin that announced mass layoffs last week.

“The 60% layoff and 90% price drop is just the beginning,” he wrote on Twitter, urging traders not to “go down with the ship.”
